Joint Base Andrews reports no hospitalizations after suspicious package with white powder sickened multiple people

Several people who fell ill after a suspicious package containing white powder was delivered to a US military base have been cleared by medics, officials said.

The sickened were taken to the base’s Malcolm Grove Medical Center after an individual opened the package at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Thursday, sources familiar with the investigation told CNN.

They were all “evaluated and treated by JBA medical personnel, determined to be in stable condition, and released yesterday,” officials said in an update Friday.

“As a precaution, the building and connecting building were evacuated, and a cordon was established around the area,” the statement added.

“Joint Base Andrews first responders were dispatched to the scene, determined there were no immediate threats, and normal operations have resumed.”

An initial field test from the hazmat team did not detect anything hazardous, but the investigation remains ongoing.

Joint Base Andrews is famously known as the home base for Air Force One, the aircraft used to transport the president of the United States.
